Hyacinth was born of a noble Roman family near Vitero in the year 1585. She joined the Franciscan Sisters early in life but put off acquiring the virtues of religious life. It was only during her recovery from a serious illness that she gave up her worldly vanities. Thereafter, she afflicted her body with severe penance and diligently occupied herself with works of charity, thus meriting to receive heavenly favors from God. She died at Viterbo in the year 1640.
From the common of virgins, 1441.
